Written by Dave Buker & the Historians
Lyrics by Dave Buker

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Jay Alton

lyrics

I’m getting further and further
From dying young
And it’d be a lie to say
It don’t scare me much
But it’s nothing compared
To what I’m really afraid of
The feeling of moving on

I know my body might fail
My brain could lose its detail
The voice that I have
Could turn to whispers and wails
And the blood in my veins
Full of prescribed pills
Could kill everything good in there

I’m so scared, oh
Of days to come
I’m so scared, oh
Of the dream being done
I’m so scared of the person
I might become
I’m so scared, oh

Someday we might get hitched
Have a couple of kids
Move to a yuppie white suburb
With a white picket fence
And dine with all our friends
And their bronze, fake-tanned skin
Who never talk religion or politics

Reading horoscopes like gospels
Of new-age apostles
And palm readers poring over life lines
But the life we thought we wanted
At the cost of how we fought it
Is the only truth they’ll find

And all the psychics say
“Joy is a day away
And you’ll find peace”
But it’d be different if I had faith
In magic or a saving grace
But it’s not in me

Dave Buker and the Historians Columbus, Ohio

Based in Columbus, OH, Dave Buker and the Historians have been spreading their brand of Americana since 2010. As was true for many musicians, the COVID-19 pandemic slowed the band’s momentum, and they chose to focus on writing and recording new music. The result is Heirlooms, the band’s first album of original music since 2019’s It Moves in the Dark. ... more
